Umpires taking players off because they're protecting themselves against possible legal action by a player who may suffer an injury.
What have we allowed ourselves to come to?

Vaughan and Cook spoke well about it on TMS - albeit Cook's idea was to "sign a waiver and just get on with it" :emoticon-0140-rofl:
 
Where is the common sense with umpires? SL keeper injured. Needs treatment. Spends about 15 minutes getting treatment and getting off the field.

Start playing again, 5 minutes later take a drinks break? Utterly ridiculous

I know these things often get rescued at the last minute but currently there are no broadcasters wanting to show the Pakistan - England test series in October.

6am starts with 1pm finishes so its not like its overnight.

Sky, TNT and Channel 4 have all declined to bid and said they won't due to the costs of putting in the right production.
